God's imitator

Chapter 374 Statement

Lee In-sook sensed the somber atmosphere and, after a moment's thought, tried to lighten the mood.

"I think it's not wrong to be cautious on similar issues; it's normal for people to have doubts."

"There's no need to set such a tight deadline for discussing this issue; we still have time later."

But Cai Zhiyuan shook his head; his attitude was more resolute than anyone had expected.

"No, I think it's pointless to drag this out indefinitely."

"Because every time a new proposal is put forward, every time a meeting is held to discuss it, and every time we try to find the boundaries of each other's interests through clashes, this kind of thing is not without cost."

"On the surface, when we're not playing games, we have nothing to do in the community and it seems like we have plenty of time to discuss these issues."

"However, discussions on this issue also involve serious problems of diminishing marginal returns."

Simply put, there is an "optimal time" for reaching a consensus on similar issues.

"If the discussion is not conducted within this optimal timeframe, it may create hidden dangers for the community, which is certainly one consideration. However, if the discussion is conducted beyond this optimal timeframe, it may become a meaningless repetition and a monologue."

"Because there are always some issues that cannot be completely agreed upon, we must resolve them quickly and decisively."

"The community's 'voting mechanism' comes in handy at this time."

"Continuing to discuss this will only waste everyone's time and make things more complicated. There is no point in doing so."

“I think we’ve reached a point where we should be contributing to community funds.”

"Further discussion would only lead to repeating the same old arguments; those who should agree will still agree, and those who should oppose will still oppose."

"Personally, I can accept either 'all members default to donating' or 'all members donate completely voluntarily'."

"But I cannot accept spending any more time on this issue."

"If a clear solution cannot be provided this time, I will not attend similar meetings again, because it will be meaningless."

Cai Zhiyuan paused slightly before continuing, "Some players might feel that although the players who participate in the bottom-line guarantee have paid for visa processing time, they gain greater influence within the community and are therefore the more profitable ones."
"Some players may feel that the players who receive dividends don't really need a say anyway, and since dividends provide a stable source of extra income, they are the more profitable ones."

"Therefore, everyone can choose for themselves whether to guarantee the dividends or to receive the dividends."

"Players who were originally unwilling to donate can have priority in this matter, and can squeeze out me or Fu Chen, and cover their share of the profits themselves."

"Or if you feel the dividends are too low, you can consider increasing them according to specific rules."

"But we can't keep dragging this on any longer."

Everyone fell into silence.

After considering for a while, Li Renshu looked at Qin Yao and said, "Tell me your opinion. After all, you represent the views of some players."

Qin Yao considered for a moment: "I... approve of this proposal and agree to donate my visa time."

Lee In-sook said as gently as possible, "It's okay, just say what you really think, and you don't have to care about other people's feelings."

Qin Yao nodded: "Yes, this is my own idea. "This time in the game, I actually received help from the suggestions provided by the guide, and this function is provided by the 'First Player Identity Card'."

"While identity cards may not be available for all players, features like 'offering advice' can certainly benefit all players."

“I share the same thought as Yin Zhang: since we have already received help from the special tools, we should of course take responsibility.”

Dai Yifan raised his hand and said, "On this issue, I agree with Brother Cai's opinion."

"We've discussed everything that needed to be discussed on this issue. If there are still people who disagree, are we supposed to keep discussing it like this forever?"

"Let me give you an example. Suppose that the vast majority of players in the community agree and donate their visa time, but there is one player who disagrees and does not donate."

"At this point, from this player's perspective, it's like the remaining 11 people in the community are pressuring him to donate;

"But from the perspective of the other 11 people in the community, isn't this also him taking advantage of the community's benefits?"
"Let's say we go to extremes and don't let him use either the immunity ticket or the identity card. But what if one of the items that is activated later is one that affects everyone and has a passive, continuous effect?"
"So I think that such major decisions that affect the community cannot possibly take into account the opinions of all players. As long as the voting results are not too far off, it's fine."

"If you feel the dividend is too low, we can see if it can be increased later; if you don't want to receive dividends and want to cover them, that's fine too, just change the person in charge."

"Anyway, I think the conditions are already very good. Whether it's Brother Wang, Brother Cai, or Sister Li, they have all worked very hard to come up with these plans. As long as the plan is similar, it should be approved. Always being picky and unable to come up with a better plan is just a very childish behavior."

"Anyway, I think this plan is feasible, and I am willing to save up any extra visa time later."

"If there is a suitable opportunity in the future, this dividend can be adjusted upwards appropriately."

"But the premise is that everyone genuinely accepts this system and is more proactive in earning visa time for the community."

After considering it carefully for a moment, Li Renshu said, "How about this, I'll add two more points to this proposal, and everyone can think about whether they are appropriate."

"The first point is a supplement to the question of 'how much visa time should be left on the player'."

"Brother Wang previously suggested 5, but I think 5 is still a bit too little. It's also possible that more visa time might be needed in later parts of the game."

"I think setting it at 8 would be more appropriate."

"In other words, if a player has less than 5 visa hours, they can withdraw visa hours from the community fund."

"For the six players who receive dividends, if their visa duration exceeds 80,000, the excess will be deposited into the community fund."

"For the six players who are responsible for covering the dividends, an additional 20,000 can be retained, meaning that if their visa duration exceeds 100,000, the excess amount will be deposited into the community fund."

"The extra 20,000 yuan I brought was partly because players like Brother Wang and Lawyer Lin might need more time for visa processing if they want to make significant moves in the game."
"On the other hand, a portion is reserved as a safety net for dividends to avoid a situation where dividends are insufficient."

"Secondly, we will set a baseline for community revenue. Within this baseline, the profit sharing will be based on a default ratio of 5%."

"If, during the subsequent game, the community's revenue exceeds this baseline by 20%, then the dividend will increase by 1%."

"In other words, regardless of the returns, there is always a 5% guaranteed dividend. The more visa time the community earns in the future, the higher the dividend will be."

"If this proposal cannot be passed, then we will no longer discuss any proposals for mandatory donations, and simply establish it as a rule: from now on, donations to the fund will always be entirely voluntary."

"Regardless of the outcome, we respect the results of the community vote, and this matter is now closed."
